The Big Ten Network routinely airs some of the Big Ten’s greatest games (read greatest victories against other conferences or really good in-conference games). Iowa will take part in a few of those in coming months.
On Dec. 30, the BTN will re-air the 2005 Capital One Bowl featuring Iowa and Louisiana State, ending with a 30-25 Iowa win. The 3-hour telecast airs at 10 p.m.
Iowa’s 1987 NCAA Sweet 16 double-overtime victory over Oklahoma will air on the Big Ten Network at 7 p.m. Feb. 24. Iowa’s Kevin Gamble hit a shot from the top of the key with one second left to lift the Hawkeyes to the Elite Eight in Seattle.
The network will air the 2004 double-overtime Iowa win at Indiana. Jeff Horner’s basket from the lane with two seconds left in the second overtime provided Iowa’s winning margin over the Hoosiers. That game re-airs at 7 p.m. Feb. 3.
The network also will re-air Iowa’s 75-74 overtime loss in 2005 at Northwestern at 10 a.m. Feb. 28.
